With our receiver core nicked up and a bit out of balance with depth reporting in, time for DW to shine.

. . . .. and right after the TD, a nice BC Sucks chant from the 33,000 faithful for nice effect.

Get to VAj early. Make him feel pressure. 

Get Collaros going by finding Lawler or Demski deep on the first drive. 

Pound the ball. Pound their O. 

Get in his head man. (said in the most irritating drawn out tone).

Looking at his receivers with palms up would do.

The biggest thing is going to be turnovers. Not just INTs but that **** when the pocket collapses and Collaros is in deep **** and fumbles or whatever... We've seen it too often this year. If we win the turnover battle, we win this game. Period.

Quick strike by the O. Then a pick 6 to give the Blue a nice 14 points before the game is 5 minutes old. 

And be patient (that goes for fans too). 8 times this year Bombers were trailing, tied, or had at best a 3 point lead at the half, and went on to win the game by more than a TD. This is a defence that feels out it’s opponents on the first half and then locks down second half, and bully ball grinds out the 4th quarter with a lead. Not my favorite way to see a win, but a close game early does not necessarily spell trouble. Don’t abandon the run if behind in the first half. 

Just play like we did the second half last time we met. Shouldn't  even be close then.  Plus ,they aint playing in their cozy confines......GO BLUE!!

Hopefully those wind gusts don’t kick up to 40 km too often.

Bombers need to win the coin toss.

I figured we would start that right after O’Canada

This is exactly how I see it. Collaros needs to play error free ball. If he gets into trouble there is a good sideline to throw the ball to. Trying to make something out of nothing will lose us the game. If he has a good error free game we win. If the opposite happens we will not win.

I'm worried I'll be like this all game

About as nice a day a fan in the stands could ask for.

Thinking 20 K wind hopefully will not dictate the game outcome. Hate when the weather greatly positively impacts who wins the coin tosses. Let the teams decide their fate with the battles on the field on equal ground not with advantage to team calling the right side of the coin.

That's how I met my wife. Ba doom phish.

I know.

I'd like to see another one of those games where the punt team doesn't see the field til the 4th quarter

Dustin doesnt think weather will be a factor. I beg to differ as I think it will feel colder than last year's final.

Yea I as thinking what kind of game this is going to be cuz if it comes down to the final seconds the Sanford and Son gif above will be pretty accurate.

Looks like the game will be sold out in the next hour.

A time count on their first drive would be cool. 
If it’s a grinder early, the crowd can’t let up. 
It needs to be 110db+ for every second of BC possession. 

Bo on the panel! He's a natural, hopefully TSN can keep him around when he isn't playing

The wind is definitely going to be a factor today, so whoever can run the ball effectively will have a big advantage- and includes Adams. Kyrie Wilson should be a critical defender.

I do recall making this precise statement earlier this week! It's yet another testament that anyone on this forum could seamlessly transition to writing for 3DN without a drop in their quality 🤣🤣🤣 Vernon is going to struggle under the noise and pressure—I'm eagerly anticipating being  spectator to his demise.

Agreed. Those collapses lead to TDs, more often than not.

TSN pregame Beirness says on the bumper preview for West Final

"All 3 meetings this season were lopsided"

"Neither team in the matchup has won at home"

Both ridiculously false.  Bombers beat Lions in Winnipeg and the game in BC went to overtime.
